(Hugs Lars) Lars! You saved us! You stopped the Robonoids, but - but one of them exploded, and - and you weren't moving, and I started crying. [Gasps] I brought you back to life! It was an accident. I mean, I probably would've done that on purpose if I had known I could do that, but I didn't really ask your permission, so I'm sorry.

Steven's head pops out of the pink grass and he finds himself in a vast savannah. He sees a small hill with a tree resembling an oak. In the distance, he observes another tree on a hill. Steven walks toward it and notices Rose's belongings around it: her battle flag, a Mr. Universe shirt, and a chest. He glances back at the other tree before exiting the dimension; he pops out of Lion's mane and finds himself back in the Beach House.

Steven

[Gasps] Ah. I'm home. I'm home! Guys? Where are they? (Notices a cup on the kitchen counter) Water! (Quickly fills up the cup with the faucet and drinks) Ahh. (Fills up the cup and drinks again) Ahh. [Stomach gurgles] [Gasps] Food. (Makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and begins eating it as tears flow from his eyes) Life is beautiful! (Begins packing a paper bag with food and drink) Got to bring some back for Lars. Wish I could tell everyone I'm okay. (Notices Lion) Oh, Lion. So you were - [Sighs] Gosh, there - there's so much I want to ask you. If only you could talk.

Everyone, I've made an amazing discovery! I just traveled back to planet Earth by going through Lars' head!

Lars

You went back to Earth? What the heck? Is my head like a wormhole?

Steven

No, it's way simpler than that. You see, I have a pink pet lion who belonged to my mom when she was still here, and it turns out I can go into his mane, and it transports me to a magical dimension where my mom kept a bunch of artifacts on a hill with a tree, and for some reason, I can't breathe in there. But anyway, when I went into Lars' head, I got transported to the same magical dimension, but it was a new part of it, but since the two are connected, I could reach the portal that leads out of Lion's mane, which is back on Earth!

Lars

Uh...

Steven

(Offers Lars a sandwich) Here, I brought you some food.

Lars

Huh? Thanks, but I-I'll save it for later.

Steven

But aren't you hungry? Maybe you only eat magical lizards now like Lion. A-Are you hungry for lizards?

Lars

No, I do not want a lizard.

Steven

But you haven't eaten in days.

Lars

I know. There must be pink magic in my guts now or something.

Rhodonite

(Picks up a juice box) What is this box?

Steven

It's juice. We drink it back on Earth.

Rhodonite

What?

Rutile

That's impossible.

Rhodonite

Earth?

Rutile

There's no way.

Rhodonite

Unh-unh.

Padparadscha

Steven's back.

Rutile

That can't be. I'm incredulous.

Steven

Why can't it be?

Fluorite

Everyone knows that the Earth...

Rhodonite

Was decimated by the Diamond attack! Sorry.

Steven

It's not like that. The Diamonds did attack, but there are still Gems living on Earth, and the planet's full of life. (Holds up bag of chips) It grew the potatoes that became these chips (Holds up sandwich) and grew the wheat that eventually became the flour that eventually became the bread that eventually became this sandwich!

Rutile

Sand... wich?

Rhodonite

But why would Gems still live there?

Steven

Because the Earth is a place where we can be ourselves. We can live freely without having to hide who we are.

Rutile

Live freely? Without having to hide?

Fluorite

That sounds wonderful.

Steven

It is. And now that we have this portal, we can all go there.

Lars

All? How am I supposed to go through my own head?

Steven

Oh. Hmm.

Trans. to Lars' dimension

Steven tries pulling Lars' arm and the rest of his body into the dimension.

No, no, look. I get it. Everyone just go, and I'll stay here. There's no other way out. I'm it. The Earth is way better than this. There's no robots flying around. Just seagulls that fly in front of the sunset and it's beautiful! Just go, you'll see. I took it for granted, so don't pass up this chance.

Rhodonite

Well, if you insist.

Rhodonite begins walking forward but the Rutile Twins stop her.

Fluorite

We won't do it. Not if it means leaving you behind.

Lars

What?! I'm trying to perform a beautiful act over here.

Fluorite

We know this planet. We've been hiding in these tunnels for eons. You'll need us to help you get around. Besides, us off colors stick together.

Rutile

We'll get to Earth another way. We'll find an alternate route.

Lars

(Points at Steven) But you've got to go back.

Steven

But it doesn't feel right to just leave you here.

Lars

You said yourself that everyone on this planet is out to get you. You won't be safe until you're back on Earth.

Steven

But, Lars-

Lars

Don't argue with me! You're always trying to help me. You brought me back to life. Just let me be somebody who deserved it.

Steven

All right, I'll tell everyone you're okay. I'll be back. I can bring whatever you need. Be careful, okay?

Fluorite

We will.

Padparadscha

We can't leave without Lars!

Rhodonite

We'll see you on Earth, I hope. No, no, no. We will!

Steven places his hand on Lars' chest. Lars pushes his hand out of the way and hugs Steven, who embraces him in return.

Steven

Um, if you could just...

Lars

Oh, yeah. (Bends head down)

Trans. to interior of Beach House

Steven exits Lion's mane and the Gems, Connie, and Greg shortly warp in as they are still depressed about Steven's disappearance.

Pearl

This is hopeless.

Steven

[Gasps]

Pearl

We'll never get that dropship to fly, and we're losing time! Who knows what they're doing to Steven. Hi, Steven. What are we going to d-

Steven

I'm back!

Everyone rushes to embrace Steven and Steven becomes glad that he is back home.
